This Kentucky School Just Approved the Dress Code of Your Dreams

When you're reading about dress codes, most of the time it's because a school is banning leggings and crop tops because they might "distract" boys or forcing boys to cut their hair above their ears because... well, who knows why? Today, there's some uplifting dress code news for a change. Anderson County High School in Lawrenceburg, Kentucky is doing their students a major solid and lifting the ban on three essential comfortable clothing items: pajama pants, yoga pants, and stretch pants.

According to a report by The Paducah Sun, the decision to allow these commonly banned clothing items was made last week during a Site-Based Decision Making Council meeting of four teachers and three parents. "If we are going to err, we should err on the side of being comfortable," said Principal Chris Glass, who runs the council meetings.

Unlike most schools, which tend enforce a "real world appropriate" dress codes, Anderson County High administrators clearly don't see the harm in letting their students loosen up and dress comfortably at school. "This is loosening up (the dress code) a little, but I think (the students) will be extremely happy," said Glass. You think the students will be happy? Understatement of the century.

The council has said that allowing pajama, yoga, and stretch pants is on a trial basis. There were concerns expressed at the committee meeting that allowing girls to wear yoga and stretch pants might distract boys. "So many wear jeans that are tight, they might as well be wearing leggings," said one attendee.

But the council members decided comfort trumps any concerns about boys being ~distracted~. Hopefully the dress code change will stick, and maybe other schools will follow suit! *crosses fingers*
